Hello all. #introduction here. Comp-Sci scholar, gamedev and digital art tinkerer, longtime writer in science fiction and fantasy.
Favorite authors I can think of at the moment include Brian Lumley, Neal Asher, and Jane Yolen.
Might not be super active, as campus network does not seem to like Mastodon clients
Artists of mastodon with vector skills and an ability to make really shiny bubbles might want to consider https://gitlab.com/lupine/crockery/issues/19
I want a logo and I'm not afraid to pay for one. I certainly can't draw one of my own, and creative commons seems to have failed on this subject. I've got an image in my head, but I'm not up to making it appear except in words at present. Happy to talk more here or in the issue
No idea what sort of price is reasonable. Educate me, but be gentle :D
Hello! I'm new to Mastodon, and happy to try this place out! I draw a lot of original art focused around my characters and create speedpaints for my patreon.

Also, some of the players have got more than twenty xp, because no one has wanted to slow down and learn the rules for advancing to the next tier.
Unmasked moves on apace. It's interesting how RPGs darken and lighten in tone. "what did we do just do?!" Covers pretty much the entire spectrum.

One fun thing I discovered about Visual Chatbot: no matter what the photo is of, it will always report there are at least a couple giraffes.
It learned from answers that humans gave, and apparently nobody ever asked "how many giraffes are there?" when the answer was zero.

Virtual reality games are hard because I know they can't actually hurt me but I still have to beg the robots to stop shooting at me anyway.
Every time I run a Numenera game and then follow that up with a D&D session, it makes it so clear how much more work the latter is for a GM. I enjoy both, but the cypher system is way easier to run. #rpg

Out of orbit. Down to Earth.
Made a discovery: I’m not alone.
Sure, there are 7 billion humans.
But there are others like me, aliens, who’ve taken up residence.
Maybe a million of them.
“Mastodonians.”
I can see through to their wire frames.
Whatever quirky absurd thing I’d wanted to say, another alien is already saying it - and better.
I can’t hope to out-weird them.
It’s quite humbling.
I guess I should make friends, find out why they stayed.
Find out what they - we - are planning next.
if you like my writing consider investing in a cryochamber to be in time for my next work
Don't know if y'all're interested, but on the off chance anyone would like a print, I tossed Pudge and his mummy up on Redbubble too:

(if not, please boost- every little bit helps me make a little bit more art 😊🙏)
I made a game for GodotJam!
It was a lot of fun, and I hope people enjoy it.

The theme was temperature, so I made a game about manuevering a space ship without being picked up on thermal imaging.
A boy, no more than five, jumped in front of me at the grocery store.
He'd wandered from his mother. Not far enough to be out of sight, but far enough to make her uncomfortable.
The child pointed at me, yelling STOP!
I froze, hands up, a look of terror on my face.
His mother was furious at his actions. I could only smile as I walked away.
At times I feel like I have so little control. More so this time of year.
It was good to let someone else feel powerful, if only for a moment.

You are the story I can’t write. Every page of you has to be torn out of me.
